Winning Poweball numbers on August 16 as £10m jackpot up for grabs

Winners can receive their prize as an annuity paid in 30 graduated payments over 29 years, or as a lump-sum payment.

The game has only operated in the US – until now. If the Powerball jackpot continues to roll until the British launch, UK players will be in with a chance to win it in the opening draw.

The game was first launched in the US in 1992.
